No Doubt

Highly popular US pop-rock band with punk, ska, and dance influences, fronted by the charismatic Gwen Stefani.

Biography

With the return of the punks in the mid-'90s came a resurgence of their slightly more commercial rivals, new wave bands. No Doubt found a niche as a new wave/ska band, on the strength of vocalist Gwen Stefani's persona -- alternately an embrace of little-girl-lost innocence and riot grrrl feminism -- exemplified on the band's break-out single, "Just a Girl." The group's second major-label album, 1995's Tragic Kingdom, hit number one on the album charts and the record's third single, the ballad "Don't Speak," became a Top 40 hit. Stefani later began a solo career with hits including 2004's number one "Hollaback Girl" and 2006's number two "The Sweet Escape." ~ John Bush
